Ensure a printer is connected, turned on and installed

From the Device Manager under the Printers tab, check that a printer is installed, connected and powered on. If no printer is installed, connect one via the USB connection port, and install the drivers. Some printers have auto-installing drivers.

A tab with several options should appear. Click the Devices button located second from the bottom.

Click the Print button in the submenu

After doing this, a list of currently attached and installed printers appears, so choose one of them, and begin selecting the more detailed instructions for printing the document or image. These options include paper type and orientation.
